Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I confess. I thought about giving up today. I decided to weigh and apparently all the water weight isn't gone, or I've REALLY blown it because it read 220 (before it was 212). So ... I thought ... hell with it this is getting me nowhere I should just quit this and save myself the aggravation. But I'm not. I've done well today and I'm going to make it as new a beginning as I can. I've come too far to turn back now. I'm just feeling blue, I'll get over it. I have my garden now (its raining I know it's loving this) and soon it will cool down and I can start walking again. I can do this it's just harder for me. Anyway that's my Monday thoughts ... hope your week has begun bright and wonderful. -Sapphy In Inanna's Love, -Sapphyre WyndsSongs Get your email and more, right on the new .com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 It *is* hard, isn't it? I've had those thoughts, too, off and on this last month. It's just been one stress after another. But then it occurred to me...you know, it's not exactly easy to stay unhealthy and overweight, either. It's not easy socially because I always felt self-consious. It's not easy physically because walking can actually hurt (when I was at my heaviest), and not being able to get into 'normal' seats at the movies or even in cars was no picnic. Plus all the health problems and just feeling icky in general. Emotionally it's hell. It's self-destructive to not try to take care of your body and it's a vicious cycle, in my opinion. So here's to all of us who have thought about the 'easy' way out and have kept on going despite the frustration I'm proud of you, girl -Bonnie > I confess. I thought about giving up today.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Oh Sapphy, ((((((HUGGGGGS)))))) It really is tough but don't give up on you. You are too special and too treasured by all of us to give it up and leave us! I'm so glad you did well today. You can do this. Just think how many of us would like to be where you are now! Go light some incense and candle and reflect on how great a person you are and what an asset you are to this group! Blessed be, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Even better I went to my Zen Corner, contemplated my plants, my life, my path, and became more firmly grounded in my goals <ib_domesticdiva@...> wrote: Oh Sapphy, ((((((HUGGGGGS)))))) It really is tough but don't give up on you.

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I was going back over my food journal to see the good days and wondering what made THAT day so good when this week has totally turned to poo. Well I've left off logging on my food journal my moods and health on that day so I think I'll start back doing that. I was thinking maybe I should do that too. I am actually supposed to chart my moods as I have Bipolar Disorder, and I did for awhile but I just sorta stopped and haven't started again. But normally I wake up in a good mood ready to do good, but sometime usually around 2-3 p.m. it starts turning to mud and I don't know why. I hate mornings. I wake up everyday and ,my first thought is COFFFFEEEEE. But the afternoons is hardest for me too I want to closet eat while the hubby is at work and the kids are napping so no one will see me. BUT I haven't done that in a while so that's getting better. Maybe it's something in the air, the seasons are changing after all ... It sould be something is affecting you. Maybe it is just the fact that the year is winding down or something. I love this time (I was born on the autumnal equinox) of year I do great with the weight in the fall. For some reason it is the summer and winter that kill me. Blessed be, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I'm actually a winter personality, I drive people nuts in the winter they are all shivering and miserable and I'm just LOVIN that sharp north wind.

I hate to say it - but I am gonna have to go have one of those "one day" - never did have one!! So, one day when I am doing really good eating according to my daily plan, uhhhh maybe on a day that I go to Curves AND walk too (LOL) - then I am gonna go enjoy one guilt-free. I saw a (Subway) commercial the other day - do those things really have 50 g of fat in them?? Or does it depend...? Don't they come in double, triple and quads?? HOLEY MOLEY!! Good for you Sapphyre though - take care of you during TOM - I always need to take it easier too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all be good! It sounds like an excellent first day at work - I work at a desk job too and one thing I might recommend is going for a small walk on breaks or lunch time - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
